A Great Little Place

When you really think about it, there aren't many straight-up whole-animal butcheries in this state. There's The Chop Shop in Asheville, which wouldn't surprise anyone. Besides that, I think it might just be us. Our little shop here in rural Alamance County has been doing this work for nearly 10 years, and sometimes we're surprised that it's all working out. Obviously we owe that to having incredible meat from great farms week after week and the customers who make the weekly rounds to see us. 

We also happen to be in an amazing little village that is truly a community. We have customers every week from Durham, Chapel Hill, Greensboro, even Wilmington and Charlotte. But week-in and week-out, we sell a lot of meat to our neighbors and local community. Those folks choose to call this place home because it really is a special little spot. You can get an amazing lunch, an excellent coffee or a beer made with local produce! Working at the shop, it is a thrill when bands come through and we get to see the artists we've listened to since we were kids milling about the village or occasionally stopping in the shop (usually they have just taken the wrong door to the green room).

All to say, sometimes we feel a little special - both about what we do and where we get to do it. Hopefully you love Saxapahaw as much as we do and have found more than just our shop when you come into town. If you need any ideas of what to do when you come out, just ask. We're subject matter experts.

And, as always, visit the weekly order form and get your order in.
